covery of a remarkable power of memory in the
humble bee. The little creature has evidently
strong sense of locality comparative to that of a
carrier pigeon. The Professor removed a nest
containing numerous humble bees bum bus

house he placed the nest, with it's inhabitants
near a window and after the latter had been
quieted made small entrance Immediately
